Patrolman Harvey O'Neill was killed in a motorcycle accident while on duty.
While on duty at 1:50 a.m., Patrolman O'Neill was pursuing a speeding Yellow Cab west on Monroe Street at Bancroft Street when a Ford V-8 turned left between the cab and Patrolman O'Neill's motorcycle. The motorcycle struck the Ford at an estimated 60 mph. The Ford's driver admitted to having "one whiskey and two glasses of beer prior to the accident," though witnesses testified that the driver did not appear intoxicated at the scene of the accident.
A survey of the traffic light control later determined that the light at Bancroft and Monroe Streets was not working at the time of the accident.
Patrolman O'Neill had served with the Toledo Police Department for six years. He was survived by his wife and two children.
